Abbreviations

ADMET:

Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity, five factors which determine whether a compound with favorable features resulting from a computer-assisted drug design will also be a useful medicinal drug.

Local vertex invariant (LOVI):

A number associated with a vertex of a molecular graph. It does not depend on the arbitrary numerical labeling of vertices.

Molecular descriptor:

A mathematical entity (either a number or a set of numbers characterizing substituents or molecular fragments) associated with a chemical structure, allowing quantitative manipulations of such structures (correlations with properties, clustering, ordering or partial ordering, determination of similarity or dissimilarity). Constitutional isomerism is associated with topological indices or other two-dimensional descriptors, whereas stereoisomerism requires three-dimensional descriptors.

Molecular graph:

Constitutional chemical formula representing atoms by points (vertices) and covalent bonds by lines (edges). Hydrogen atoms are usually omitted (in hydrogen-depleted graphs) and carbon atoms are not shown explicitly, but other atoms are assigned weights according to the nature of the heteroatom. Multiple bonds are shown explicitly in multigraphs.

Pharmacophore:

A set of chemical features that determine the biological activity.

Quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR):

Mathematical correlation (e.g., a mono- or multiparametric equation) between a physical or a chemical property and molecular descriptor(s).

Quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR):

Mathematical correlation (e.g., a mono- or multi-parametric equation) between a biological property and molecular descriptor(s).

Quantitative structure–toxicity relationship (QSTR):

Mathematical correlation (e.g., a mono- or multi-parametric equation) between toxicologic properties and molecular descriptor(s).

Receptor:

Physiological macromolecule (usually a protein, but sometimes DNA or RNA), also called target, to which a drug (ligand) binds.

Topological index (TI):

A number characterizing a molecular constitutional graph, resulting from mathematical operations on the LOVIs, or edges/vertices of the graph.
